Welcome to the show podcast everybody, it's Brian Clint.
What was that noise?
What was that?
We're starting hot, well I don't know what that was.
I was like...
Some of you have a little fumbly, some of you have a little whoopsie.
Who knows? I've got an issue.
My favourite sweatshirt that I'm wearing at the moment
is starting to smell like BO.
What shit? I don't know how to deal with it.
Nah.
Fabric softener?
Is this a thing that happens to everyone?
This doesn't happen to my clothes.
Oh, does it not happen to you?
No.
No, it doesn't happen to all my clothes.
Just that one.
Exercise clothes.
Exercise clothes, yeah.
You said a lot of your T-shirts it happens to.
Oh, not a lot of them.
You said a lot of your T-shirts, the armpits end up going brown.
Oh, that's a deodorant issue.
Well, this is a deodorant issue too, but that's a different deodorant issue.
I mean, if your shirt smells, wouldn't you just wash it?
Yeah, I know, but then when it gets warm again, the scent comes out of it again.
Clint, look for the composition label to see what it's made of.
Because if it's like a cheap fibre, it's probably cotton.
It's 100% organic cotton.
Yeah, so is that
the New Zealand... What deodorant are
you wearing? Are you still trying to wear that
organic deodorant shit? Nah, nah,
fuck that off ages ago. I'm wearing
Rexona Clinical Strength
All Blacks Edition.
So you're wearing like actual deodorant, so that's
not the problem. Yeah.
Maybe it's your hormones. I reckon it's the cotton, the organic cotton.
You reckon it's the organic cotton?
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway.
I just want to know how to...
I don't think we've got a solution.
I've got a solution.
Do you?
I do.
I want to fix this one.
I don't want to fix myself.
I want to fix this.
Lynx Africa.
That'll mask any smell.
Buy a new jumper.
How old was it?
Nah, it's like three seasons ago.
You can't get it. And it's got a big oil stain on it. I really got to let it go. Buy a new jumper. How old was it? Nah, it's like three seasons ago. You can't get it.
And it's got a big oil stain on it.
I really gotta let it go.
I hate oil stains.
Yeah, they're the worst.
Fuck, I hate them.
Like, it's not, yeah.
Especially on grey.
That's why you can't buy grey marl.
Yeah.
You're screwed.
You're literally wearing grey marl right now. Pink Nike tracksuit pants got oil on them.
Oh, that sucks.
Oil stains suck.
Now they're strictly at-home tracksuit pants. I bought them for out in the open. Yeah. Outdoor tracksuit pants got oil on them. Oh, that sucks. Oil stains suck. Now, they're strictly at-home tracksuit pants.
I bought them for out in the open.
Yeah.
Outdoor tracksuit pants.
Yes.
No, they're like, they're formal track pants.
Devo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're nice.
Devo.
Business track pants.
Yeah, right.
Well, if there's any tips just to get the ooder out, then I'd love to hear them in our podcast
group.
Roll it in poo.
Make the smell worse.
Because then you won't smell the BO.
There's definitely
products on the market
for that sort of thing.
And with that jumper
it would stick into
all the little crevices.
It's a waffle.
The funny bit is
it's a waffle jumper.
So it would actually stick.
I'll do a waffle stomp on it.
A waffle stomp.
I love that term.
It's a blue waffle.
Weird.
Oh it is true.
It is a blue waffle. It is blue waffle. Do you know my friend in Dunedin You know Oh, it is true. It is a blue waffle.
It is blue waffle.
Do you know my friend in Dunedin?
You know that's not fucking true.
I don't even know.
You know what's actually not true?
It's actually made up.
Well, the thing is, if you Google it, it's what comes up.
Yeah, but that whatever.
Don't Google it, Ben.
I wasn't.
He knows what it is.
Doesn't he?
I don't know.
He lived in the 90s.
Did I?
No one googled blue waffle.
People know what it is.
No one googled it.
I'm more of a pancake person anyways.
So I read not that long ago.
Yeah, it's all bullshit.
There's no such thing as blue waffle.
Yeah, right.
But do some horrific images come up when you google it?
Yes.
That's more what I think it is.
But it's not an actual infection you can get. In your vagina. No. That's good news. It was made up. I don't know you google it. Yes. That's more what I think it is. But it's not an actual infection you can get. In your
vagina. No. That's good news. It was
made up. I don't know anything about it.
I just know that that's a thing. Good. I think they
talked about it on the Kardashians once.
Oh, legends. Have you seen
this blue waffle photo? Speaking of
throwback internet things to do, did anybody
watch the two girls one cup video?
Yeah, I've seen it. No, I didn't. I knew you
would have watched it. It was so like so fucked up. It video yeah i've seen it i didn't i knew you would have watched it so like i don't know so fucked up it involves have you seen it i've never watched it it was
one of the most one of the most fucked up things i've ever watched in my life and i was young and
stupid and my friends don't google this either i wasn't like oh i'm gonna go watch it my friends
were like come and watch this you know like as a joke and i literally i probably saw like
five or six seconds
and it was the most messed up thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, right.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Unless you're into that.
Is anyone into that?
But I mean.
Oh, well, there's something for everyone.
Yes, people are into that.
People are into everything.
Yeah.
Like.
I know they say don't kink shame, but.
There's so many different types of fetishes.
Honestly, why doesn't anyone want one?
Oh, I've got a question.
I saw this online somewhere.
I think I saw it on Instagram as a question.
Yeah.
Okay, so say a random stranger comes up to you
and they say, hey, you guys can't really play,
but Clint and I can play the game.
And they say, I'm going to offer you a million dollars if I can buy your pet.
Oh.
What do you do?
Yeah, I'd sell one of the horses.
There you go.
A horse is not a pet.
No, because we can...
Are you meaning to say your dog that you walk is more important than
a horse i can ride i'm not saying it's more important i'm just saying a horse like oh wait
wait wait don't take that shit from her she sold it in an instant okay no but it's true it's it's
not a pet if you sold it just like that the current, he tries to buck me off all the time. I could get a nice one.
And I could buy a really nice horse truck for it.
Miniature ponies that people have live inside pets.
Miniature ponies are a waste of space.
Back to me and the cats.
Yeah, that's a safe.
Oh, I've been saved by a phone call.
I actually have to take this.
Oh.
No, because it could be the...
Well, answer it quick then. Oh. No, because it could be the... I'll answer it quick then.
Okay.
Hello, Clint speaking.
I meant the question that we've asked.
Brie, what's your answer?
Oh, hi.
Can you call me back in 10 minutes?
Is that okay?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you very much.
Okay, bye.
Love you.
Love you, bye.
That's the Skyman for our cable for our American listeners.
Oh, yeah, nice.
I think from my point of view, Clint,
that's good money. You should do that.
I want him to offer me the same deal.
I can't afford it if he doesn't offer me the hot deal.
I was talking about your cats. Oh, the cats.
Not about my Sky subscription?
I don't think I can.
Ethically. I don't think I can sell an animal.
A million. Oh, fuck. I need
a million dollars. Can I pick
the cat? You can pick the cat.
Definitely.
Yeah, but I'm not saying which one.
Are you guys serious?
It'd be Bowie.
It's Bowie.
Yeah.
It's an animal.
Because Ziggy is sick.
You'd sell it.
No, Ziggy's an angel.
Bowie's a good girl, but she wakes us up at four o'clock every morning.
Oh, wait, you'd pick Bowie to sell.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Oh, you think I was going to hock off the sick one.
No, we invested too much in her.
She's healed.
Yeah, that's true. We, you think I was going to hock off the sick one? No, we invested too much in her. She's healed. Yeah, that's true.
We spent thousands of dollars healing that cat.
I don't know if I could.
I guess you've got to get your money back, eh?
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, well, that's a good way to make it back.
I don't think I could do it.
I don't think you could do it.
I know I sound like a fucking idiot.
And from the outside, I'd call you stupid.
I'd go, oh, you're so stupid.
You should have taken that money.
But then you put me in the situation.
I'm like, oh, should I? You know what and it sounds like a cop out i have to ask my wife
you know what else i think i'd also want to know are they going to have a really good life
where they're going like it would also depend on that like yeah are they going to put them into
some animal version of the squid game like what kind of life are you giving my animal?
And if they're like, if I knew they were getting a really, really good deal,
a really good life.
Think if it's a deal like that, like here's a million dollars for your dog
or your cat or your pet or your horse.
And you go, you're never going to know.
It's a million dollars.
No questions asked.
That's how I see it.
What do you mean?
You don't get to know anything.
You're like, here's a million dollars and I'll take it.
I take the dog now.
You never see me again.
Yeah.
Million dollars cash.
Oh, no, I couldn't do it then.
Yeah, I think that ethically is the right answer.
Yeah, if they were like, you don't get to know anything about what I'm doing with it,
where I'm going, what life it's going to have, then I'd say I would 100% know it down in my mind.
Yeah, but what if it was being put into an illegal dog fighting ring?
Better win.
Are you joking, Anastasia?
Oh, yeah, no, that's pretty shit.
I would say no.
I couldn't do it.
No, but if they said they were, oh, yeah, maybe.
What if they're putting your horse into an illegal horse fighting ring?
What if they were cutting up your horse to make chewing gum?
Well, that's going to happen to most horses anyway.
Yeah, that's true.
If I didn't know what was happening.
If they were a millionaire and they're like, I love your pet, I'd be like, shit yeah, take him
Do you want another one?
This is from someone who doesn't have a pet
though
Like you don't have
anything to attach
If I could get a better horse, I'd totally go for it
Like Bo is not a good show jumper
That's why
your particular horses aren't your pets.
I've figured it out.
I've figured it out.
They can take the cat for a million dollars.
There's one caveat that I will put in place.
What?
You have to continue to maintain the cat's Instagram account with fresh photos
so I can see the cat and know that it's doing okay.
That's cool.
And still sell things on the account.
And still do product endorsements. And if i send you pictures of some cat food i need you to take
a photo of the cat with the cat food so i can make some money the millionaire at that point
just go oh fuck i can't sell these cats they're making me too much money i'm gonna go buy the
fucking other cat next door these are too much of a horse i'm out of here no i had a childhood cat
all all my life has passed away a couple years ago
Or they put it down because she was sick
And
I would have sold it for less
Oh my gosh
You're fucked man
How low will she go
Half a million
We're talking in the thousands
Holy shit
That's horrible
You're fucked man I think I just haven't connected with her Like, we're talking in the thousands. Holy shit. That's horrible. That says a lot about someone.
You're fucked, man.
That really does.
No, I think I just haven't connected with any animals.
No, you just want money.
$1,000.
Anastasia's scared of Whitney.
She's always like, doesn't know where to put her hands,
and she's always like, get away!
She's scared of getting attached.
It's a bit of a story with every animal she's ever had.
No, I don't think she can.
I don't think she has that bone in her body.
No, I'm kidding.
Horses are mean, though. Anyways, bye. Well, if don't think she can. I don't think she has that bone in her body. Nah, I'm kidding. Horses are mean though.
Anyways, bye.
Well, if anyone is in the market for a horse.
Anastasia's selling one.
But we've got quite three.
Quite cheap, actually.
Cheap, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just don't tell mum.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
Enjoy.
Hey, Google.
What's the time?
It's 3pm.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
G'day everybody, welcome to the show, it's Brie and Clint.
I learned an amazing fact this morning, do you guys want to hear it?
Yeah.
So you know obviously in Beverly, it's 90210.
Yeah.
But do you know what the postcode was in Dawson's Creek?
No.
90108.
Yeah.
90108.
Is this a fact or a joke?
You said fact.
You said fact, but I feel like...
Yeah, I had to hook you in.
Yeah, right.
Anastasia was in.
It's quite a good joke, but I kept looking for the factual bit.
You're like, it sounds weird, but it's true.
It's not true, is it?
I don't want to wait for our last...
I like that joke.
That's quite good.
Today on the show, we're giving away Billie Eilish tickets
because she's coming to New Zealand.
When you hear a Billie Eilish song on this show,
the next Billie Eilish song that we play,
which, by the way, I'm pretty sure is going to be this.
First person to call us and get $3108 at him,
you're going to see Billie live at Spark Arena next year.
That is a huge prize.
And a huge show as well.
Yeah, massive.
And it's going to be real hard to get tickets to this show,
so you want to win these.
I heard an interview with Dave Grohl recently from the Foo Fighters
who said he went to a Billie Eilish show
and her shows currently have the same energy
as Nirvana shows had back in the day.
That's cool.
Isn't that awesome?
That's such a compliment.
Yeah.
So there will be a Billie Eilish song on the show
and if you get through first,
you're going to take home those tickets.
Also, it's the return of What's The Plot today,
the first game since that dramatic victory last week
when we gave away $1,300 cash.
What was his name?
He did so damn well.
Ben, you remember our champion's name and what's the
plot? He blitzed me. I didn't even
get one. It was a 3-0. 3-0
drubbing. He doesn't remember.
Nah. But you know what?
We remember you though. It doesn't matter because
how much richer is he? $1,300?
Yeah, he's laughing all the way to the bank.
So the clock resets but the
title is just as valuable.
You can play What's the Plot for the reset amount of $50 before 5 o'clock.
And, of course, two shots at the Secret Sound this afternoon.
Speaking of $50, we've got that right now as well with Tradie vs. Lady.
If you want to play 0800DIALZM, you just need to take down your opponent.
We'll play after Justin Bieber.
This is Peaches on ZM Bree and Clint.

Items.
Oh, what kind of items are you juggling?
Oh, pretty much anything you could give me, I could probably juggle.
I'm that good.
Babies.
Oh, not babies.
Watermelons?
Could you juggle watermelons?
Oh, okay, not a watermelon, not a watermelon.
Maybe not everything, but nearly everything.
I feel like watermelons are the same as babies.
Chainsaws.
I've seen someone do that.
Oh, I could do a chainsaw.
Yeah, okay, right, okay, good.
With practice.
Okay, Mandy, your buzzer is lady.
Bradley, your buzzer is tradie.
I'd hate to see the practice.
That could be dangerous.
We call Mandy in a couple of weeks.
We're like, Mandy, so we've decided we're going to fly up here to Auckland.
The Good People at Still Company want to come on board
and see you juggle their chainsaws.
That is radio.

Look, I could hear typing going on in the background.
I don't want to cast any aspersions, but if we hear any more typing,
a.k.a. Googling, we will buzz the question out.
We'll give you that one, though.
All right.
One to the ladies, two to the tradies.

Yes, Bradley.
Steel.
We'll take steel.
You've done it, Bradley.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
No one was Googling, eh? You guys wouldn't do that to us. No one would Google and trade you.
No. I was driving in a car park, so it might have been my blinker.
Right. Yeah, good. Yeah, good. I mean, in fairness, I think I might have been Googling.
Were you? Yeah, I forgot to find out the answer. I hope someone was Googling the answers.
Hey, Bradley, congratulations.
$50 cash from KFC coming your way.
Nice work, Brad.
Thank you very much.
There's a story I wanted to put towards you and everyone listening
to see how we feel about it.
It's quite a hectic story.
It's about a brother and a sister and inheritance.
Right. a brother and a sister and inheritance right so this brother has uh written asking these questions
about whether he's doing the wrong or the right thing sure okay so he said when my sister was 16
my parents kicked her out of the house because she came out to them i was only seven at the time
i have never been really close with her especially especially after she went to New York City.
Right.
I was raised mostly as an only child and I feel like one.
That's so sad.
Isn't that horrible?
That's awful.
Wait, it gets worse.
It's been 19 years.
Oh, good, it gets worse.
Yeah, it gets worse.
It's been 19 years since then and both my parents passed away recently. As their only child, I inherited, all the inheritance went to me.
It's seven figures in all.
Whoa.
Not never work again money but enough to have a comfortable life.
I miss my parents but I know they want me to have a good life
so the first thing I did was take my girl out on the road in a new RV.
I'll save most of the other money, but I wanted to do something nice for her.
Then apparently he posted about this on Facebook and he said he got angry Facebook messages from
his sister about how I needed to give her some of the money. Because my parents wronged her that she deserves a cut
and chunk of the money.
Sister also thinks I owe her an apology for living
on the dime of homophobes.
Yeah, right.
I declined and said that I was not going to give her any
of the money and that my parents pretty much disowned her
so she's not a part of this family.
Am I the a-hole?
Okay, I'm going to be very clear about this.
Yes, you're the a-hole.
Your sister got kicked out of home at 16
just because she came out as gay.
She didn't do anything wrong.
She didn't do anything wrong.
She was kicked out as a child,
and you're just going, I'm seven, not my problem.
And it's not your problem when you're seven.
But now that you're grown up and your parents have passed away.
You can make that change.
They left you over a million dollars.
You can give her what she deserves and actually be the good person in this situation.
Living off the dime of homophobes is such a good term.
I don't understand how this person thinks they might not be in the wrong. You know what's crazy, though, is that I think obviously this person
has grown up as an only child, their words, not mine,
and they've grown up with parents.
They would have been spoiled, too, because the parents would have gone,
you're the good one, you're the good one.
Don't think about that nasty gay sister that we kicked out.
You're the child that we want.
You're the child we always wanted.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But so they've been living
under the roof of the parents
that obviously have, you know,
and so they obviously influence and then obviously
money comes into it.
I, this is a pretty
Also it's inheritance. It's not money that you worked
for. No. Yeah, yeah. And
your sister is your full blood
sister and she's entitled to
some of that money. And needs some help, yeah.
And she obviously, you know, got the raw end of the deal massively.
But, you know, this is, I mean, pretty clear-cut case.
Yes.
This guy's in the wrong.
Yeah, I think so.
Absolutely.
I think it's an open-shut case.
Yeah, pretty open and shut.
But I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
did money cause an issue within your family?
Oh, okay.
You know, maybe it was inheritance and someone got annoyed
that they didn't get as much or I don't know.
Was there issues when money got involved with family?
Well, there's $23 million up for grabs in Lotto last night.
Maybe someone in the family won Lotto and someone else in the family
expected to be given some of that money and when it didn't happen, it caused everything to go to
SHIT. Yeah, that's such a good one. Winning a big amount of money and then
do your family expect some? Yep. Okay, 0800DIALZM, what do you want to know?
Did money cause issues amongst your family members?
You can stay anonymous. You can stay anonymous. You can text us on 9696.
Might be some good lessons in here about, you know,
if you're ever in these situations, what not to do.
Bree and Clint.
Right now we're talking about situations in family
where money has caused issues.
And I feel like no family is immune to this,
and it might be on a small scale. It might be on a big scale.
But sometimes when money's involved, things just get messy.
And it can be really sad.
Yeah.
It can be really, really horrible.
That's why a lot of people won't do business with family.
Because as soon as money gets involved.
That's what they say.
Never do business with family.
Yeah, yeah.
Unless you're Donald Trump and your dad offers you $10 million to start your business.
But he's a self-made man.
Self-made man.
Yeah, self-made.
There's quite a few texts
coming through on this.
Some of them are, you know, horrible.
Like this one where they said,
so long story short,
some family members bought Nana a house.
Well, they paid for it
and she was going to pay it back
rather than having to get a mortgage at 83.
Right.
Which, I mean, that seems really nice of them.
But it ended up that they charged her just about double the interest rate
of what a bank would charge and it changed our entire family dynamic
massively.
We used to have a huge Christmas day with everyone, 50 plus people.
Now it's lucky to be 10.
Wow.
They loan sharked Nan.
How could you do that to your Nan?
What about the guy with the uncle who left him everything?
Oh, yeah.
That's actually a nice story.
Someone said, I'd rather stay anonymous,
but my uncle passed away and gave me over $30 million,
but I decided to share it with my siblings
so that there were no problems.
Isn't that amazing?
You'd have to.
You'd have to, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Even if you were your uncle's favourite,
and if he gave you $30 million,
I'd love to know the percentages at which he shared it.
Because has he split it evenly among the siblings?
Or has he gone?
Could be a she.
Yeah, true.
Could be a she.
I got, they kept half of it and then shared out half of it.
Well, you can't, you have to give the siblings the same amount.
Yeah.
Because they'll find out.
As each other.
You have to give them the same amount as each other.
That's what I mean.
Yeah.
So that would be your first, like you have to do that, right?
Yeah.
But then I guess, would they find out how much money the uncle gave you?
And then.
Well, they'd look at what you were buying and they'd look at what they were buying and
they're going, wait a second. What would you
do if you're in that exact situation?
You've been... Given $30 million.
$30 million. Yeah.
What would you do? You've got two siblings.
Yeah, I've got three siblings.
This is the situation. Okay.
Whatever this person
was in. Okay. You've got two siblings. What do you do?
$10 million is more than enough money
for anybody. So you'd just split it three ways. I think that's the right way to do it. Okay. If you've got two siblings, what do you do? $10 million is more than enough money for anybody. So you just split it three ways.
I think that's the right way to do it.
Yeah.
Three ways everyone gets the cut.
Why?
What would you do?
Well, I've got two siblings.
Yeah.
Would they ever find out?
This is one of the situations.
This is what we're talking about.
This is where it's got the potential to change your family dynamic forever.
I would 100% give my siblings some of the money.
Yeah.
But, and I'd probably, if it was $30 million,
it just seems logical everyone gets $10 million.
I love this carving up this hypothetical $30 million.
Yeah, I know, right?
Kia ora, this is Toby Mann.
I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime,
a podcast for the spin-off podcast network
all about politics and politicians,
with me, Annabel Lee-Mather, and Ben Thomas,
careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous.
It's not for everyone.
I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea,
but you, I reckon, will love it.
Gone by lunchtime.

Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's here.
We talked about Tom Cruise wanting to film a movie in outer space,
but Dean, I think someone's beaten him to it.
They have beaten him.
The Russians have beaten Tom Cruise to this.
So this week, a Russian director, a Russian actress,
and an astronaut took off in a rocket,
and they are currently on the space station, I guess you call it,
currently filming some scenes for a movie.
Now, this is the plot for the movie, right?
So basically in the movie, there's like an emergency up on the space station.
So the woman has to, she's the doctor,
she has to fly up there quickly on the rocket
and perform emergency surgery on the space station.
And that is what they're recreating in the film, which is hilarious.
But I found out one thing about this,
which has just had me laughing all afternoon,
that basically when they landed the rocket onto the space station,
all of the automatic gears that, you know,
I guess put the rocket into the space tunnel or whatever,
they failed and the astronaut had to do it by manual,
like manually somehow guide the thing in.
Can you imagine if you're an actor and you've just gotten to space
and the whole thing's failing?
Wouldn't you be a little bit unease?
Oh, you're so out of your depth.
You know, it puts you in the right frame of mind to act out the scene,
though, doesn't it?
If you're a good director, you just roll cameras at that stage, eh?
They could have just been bluffing just to get them really rattled
and just panicking so much and they go, right,
let's roll the camera. Yeah, life or death
method acting. Well, Tom Cruise wanted to
shoot Mission Impossible, the new one in space.
I wonder if this will change that. Surely
he'll still shoot it because
he'll go, well, I'll do a better job
than the Russian movie. Yeah.
It might be Mission Impossible though in the end.
Yeah, it might end up being a Mission
Impossible. That's the latest. Thanks to
Pepsi Max, fueling the latest
Max Taste and No Sugars Given.
Brian Clint. Right now though
we're playing Guess That Voice.
A game
that was created because
of lockdown where we're all wearing masks
obviously, which is important and
sometimes you have to guess who
people are based on their voice.
Just on their voice.
We'll be playing on behalf of people today.
Drew.
Hi, Drew.
G'day, Drew.
Hi there.
Correctly pick the winner and you'll get 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Who would you like to be your horse in this race, Bree or me?
Bree, please.
Brilliant.
Todd, that means I'm your mare, okay?
Awesome. Wait, is mare the lady one or the boy one? It's the lady one. Well, that means I'm your mare, okay? Awesome.
Wait, is mare the lady one or the boy one?
It's the lady one.
Well, I'm Todd's mare.
But you're probably a gelding, I'd say.
My wife wishes I was.
Anastasia got that joke because she's a horse person.
Means the balls have been cut off, eh?
Yeah.
I'm not a horse person and I got it.
But you got it.
Okay, Anastasia's going to run the game. Anastasia, what's up? Hello. Yeah, I'm not a horse person and I got it. But you got it. Yeah. Okay, Anastasia's going to run the game.
Anastasia, what's up?
Hello.
Yeah, that was weird, but cool.
So I've seen my dad do that to a horse.
It was horrible.
Yeah, I don't want to think about it, okay?
Not a good situation.
I don't want to think about it.
You know what we call you, though, Bree?
It was with the vet, obviously.
The Italian stallion?
Yeah, well, this...
He's the...
He's the Italian stallion. Okay, well, this... He's the... He's the Italian Stallion.
Okay, let's move on.
Anyway.
Three's the Piccarino pony.
I'll be the pony.
And with that, you guys will just hear a clip of the people's voices
and you have to guess who it is.
So let's hear celebrity number one.
I have ideas that can make the human race existence
within our hundred years better.
I have Michelle Obama.
Wrong. Kanye West?
Correct.
Oh, jeez.
He definitely sounded like a female.
I thought it was a lady at first.
I was supposed to have told the very end
when he was like, better.
That's when I got it.
Alright, that's a point to Clint.
Let's hear celebrity number two.
The producer handling your...
Ellen.
Oh, that was an easy one.
What did you get?
I was going to get it.
Okay, one each.
Wonderful.
Let's hear celebrity number three.
We moved in on the 23rd of December.
Again, so good, so fast. That's correct. Can we have a little bit more? Hang on. We moved in on the 23rd of December. Great, Matthew McConaughey. Again, so good, so fast.
That's great.
Can we have a little bit more, Ingham?
We moved in on the 23rd of December,
and we've been renovating our house for two years.
So recognisable.
But at the start, I thought it was George Clooney.
Just because he's not saying,
all right, all right, all right.
I'm making a bourbon whiskey
because it's right in my wheelhouse.
All right, all right, alright alright alright and with that
we'll hear some actual
celebrity voices
Clint you've got to
make a point today
or you've got to make a point now
to stay in the game
let's hear celebrity number four
I mean if you want to do
a film like
Joe Rogan
yep that's correct
but I'm not a Joe Rogan guy
but that's Joe Rogan
do you listen to his podcast?
no
neither yeah I kind of went off of him when he started taking horse drench That's correct. But I'm not a Joe Rogan guy, but that's Joe Rogan. Do you listen to his podcast? No.
Neither.
Yeah.
I kind of went off of him when he started taking horse drench to fight COVID-19.
The LSD ones were wild as well.
That was quite good.
I like those ones.
Yeah, they were crazy.
All right.
Is this tie break?
Yeah, we're sitting at two points each,
so it all relies on the celebrity.
Let's hear celebrity number five.
So I'm super snarky and weird, and I try to make it...
Pink. She's done it!
Yeah!
Drew, you've just scored
50 KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations.
Oh, sweet. Thank you. You're back to
the right mare.
Sure did.
Right. Okay.
This game got real weird this afternoon.
Didn't it just?
It's when you brought up horse gelding.
And then it was just all downhill.
I don't know if it'll even come back after that.
Who knows?
Brian Clint.
I want to talk about one-word texts and the worst texts
or short texts that you can receive.
They can come across very passive-aggressive. Not even that, they can come across very passive aggressive.
Not even that, they can come across very aggressive,
a short text message.
Yeah.
Because there's no inflection and there's no like body language or anything.
You have to colour those with punctuation or emojis
will diffuse a text.
Yeah.
Like K with a smiley face is 100% different to K full stop.
I mean, I think K as a text just shouldn't be done.
What about K with a love heart?
That's okay, isn't it?
Nah.
Really?
I still take it as passive aggressive.
Right.
I don't know why.
That's just me.
Melania Trump's former chief of staff has a book coming out
and she's revealed that she quit her job over a one-word text
from Melania Trump.
She was talking to her, her name's
Stephanie Grisham and she was
talking to the First Lady
after those horrific Charlottesville
riots that went down and she
said to her, let's
draft your statement, let's figure out what you
want to say about the riots and
she was texting her about it and she said,
can I get a statement from you to post? And Melania just replied with, no. That was it. No justification, no explanation,
not no thank you, or no, not at the moment. She just replied with, no. And at that point,
Stephanie went, you know what? I don't need this job. Screw this job. I quit. Maybe she's like my mum and thinks that you pay per word.
So she only wrote no because she was low on her credit.
I'm pretty sure the First Lady isn't having to pay for her phone bill.
It might be a big prenup.
I don't think she's on Vodafone MyFlex prepay.
Has she left Donald Trump yet?
No.
Hasn't she?
No.
Well, not that we're not aware of.
No.
Really?
Yeah, and everyone thought that'd be the first thing that would happen.
He might have extended her payments because he wants to run again, you know?
He might have said, oh, I need to buy another eight years.
How much will that cost?
She's like, let's talk money.
$350 million.
And he's like, done deal.
Jeez.
So one of the worst short texts to get,
no, full stop, is a really bad text.
K is bad.
Is it worse than okay?
Because okay is a pretty bad text.
K is worse than okay, I reckon.
If I text you and I say,
hey, say me and you've got dinner plans
and I text you and I go,
or you text me and go,
hey, I can't make it tonight, sorry,
something's come up, I'm really sorry
and I text you back, okay.
Oh, yeah, not good.
That's pretty bad, right?
Not good.
But okay, then now picture it.
You text me and I say, wait, what was the situation?
You have to pull out of a dinner that you and I have got.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I write back to you, okay, full stop.
See, okay, all you have to add to it is that,
and it's so much better.
That's okay, you know?
Yeah, way better.
What about if you add, okay, thumbs up emoji?
Nah, not better.
Okay, dot, dot, dot, thumbs up emoji.
How hasag is the thumbs up emoji?
So that's what okay and K in the same basket is texting that back better or worse than just leaving the message on scene.
What would you rather?
I'd rather something back.
Yeah, you need something back.
Because at least you know and you can kind of feel where you stand rather than just nothing.
It's a real generational thing, by the way.
Like some older generation people don't get the power
that these short messages pack, and they should.
You know, you've got to understand that your young employees,
when you text them back, that's fine.
They think it's anything but fine, you know?
Yeah.
Some of them that are coming in, we need to talk,
is a bad short text to get.
No context, we need to talk.
That's a horrible text. It's also, can I call you, is a bad short text to get. No context, we need to talk. That's a horrible text.
It's also, can I call you?
Is a really bad.
Can I call you?
Not good.
If it wasn't bad, you would have just called me.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Someone said, oh, well, if someone texts you the B word,
that's a pretty bad short text.
Yeah, not ideal.
Yeah.
Is that the last okay, kay, no?
Anything else we need to add to it?
Maybe you need to get a test.
That's not a good text to receive.
Yeah, or depending on the circumstances, I'm pregnant.
Yeah.
That can be a really amazing text. It can. It can. Yeah. I'm pregnant dot, dot'm pregnant. Yeah. That can be a really amazing text.
It can.
It can.
Yeah.
I'm pregnant dot, dot, dot.
Yay!
I want it in.
Bree and Clint.
I want to talk about baths.
Oh, yeah.
Do you take a bath?
No.
Nah.
Rarely.
Yeah.
Very rarely.
Yeah.
We renovated our house a few years ago and we put in a new bath
and I reckon I've had two baths in two and a half years.
Not a lot.
It's so time consuming.
Some people are big bath fanatics.
My brother loves a bath.
And I kind of, you know, I get it.
He prefers a bath over a shower.
But then it's just a lot more effort, like you said.
It's a lot more effort, yeah.
You have to run the bath and you have to make sure it's... And I always feel like it should be a shower. But then it's just a lot more effort, like you said. It's a lot more effort, yeah. You have to run the bath and you have to make sure.
And I always feel like it should be a ritual.
Like I feel like you should light a candle and take a book
and a glass of wine when you're actually just trying to get clean.
Yeah, just trying to wash off the soil that's on your body.
I found this interesting story where a girl was talking about
how her and her best friend usually take showers or baths
together since they were young. So when they were young, and that's pretty common. I used to
like bathe with a lot of my friends, like when we were real young kids. You know, like if they
were over and they were staying or whatever, my mum would just bathe all of us. What ages?
I think we'd probably be like six, seven.
Very normal. Something like that.
And you can, you know,
keep an eye on all of the kids at one
time. Oh, so it's fun. Yeah.
It's like a tiny little swimming pool.
We used to have baby ducks in our
baths. What, real ducks? Yeah, real ducks.
Not rubber ducks? No, real ducks.
Really? I don't know if that's hygienic.
Country, Australia. Anyway, real ducks. Really? I don't know if that's hygienic. Country, Australia.
Anyway, this girl goes on to say she's in a healthy relationship
with this guy, right?
Yes.
But she said, a few days ago my friend came to visit me
and we decided we were going to have a spa day.
So we bought face masks and bath bombs and we decided we were going
to take a bubble bath together.
A few hours later I visited my boyfriend. He asked me what we got up to. I told him about it
and he seemed pretty shocked. He told me that I was cheating and he's super mad at me. I don't
think that it would be such a, I didn't think it would be such a big deal. I mean, I'd definitely
stop it if he feels uncomfortable
but I feel like he's exaggerating
the situation because my friend and I
are both straight and plus
she's like a sister to me. I've known
her since I was like three
and I didn't think it was a big deal.
I could see him getting upset if she was having naked
baths with her guy best mate.
I mean, that's a little bit different.
Because you could start to question his intentions.
Yeah.
They're just friends.
But take him out of the equation for a second.
Because people get jealous of all kinds of random things.
Yeah.
Is it weird to have a naked bath with your adult friend?
Well, it didn't say if they were naked.
I think we're assuming. I think
you have to assume they're naked because who gets
in a bath in their togs
at a spa? You wouldn't.
I think it was at home. Oh, at home.
Or even more so. Oh, when I'm having
like baths with friends when I've had a few lemonades
I would. Oh wait, okay, back the bus up.
You have baths with friends? I mean, I haven't
for a long time, but in my 20s, yeah.
Really? Like, we'd be in bathing suits.
Yeah, okay.
But we'd, you know, why not?
I think it's pretty common for females.
Yeah, right.
Like, we'll do that.
You get in the bath and you, I don't know, have a few drinks.
Maybe I'm being precious.
Can I just check with Ben for a second?
Go on, mate.
Have you had a bath with any of your mates?
Nah.
No.
Never.
No.
Shower?
Apart from sports games? Nah. No, I'm not anti. I just haven't done it. Haven't had? Nah. No. Never. Nah. Shower? Apart from sports games?
Nah.
No, I'm not anti it.
I just haven't done it.
I haven't had a chance.
Yeah.
Probably some hockey tournaments, like a hot-cold scenario.
Nah, changing rooms doesn't count.
Yeah, it doesn't count.
Nah.
No, like actual baths, but like, nah.
Nah, nah.
Nah, not actual baths.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I like the baths myself.
It's an intimate part of your friendship if you can do it.
Did I have a bath with my auntie once?
I can't remember now.
Did I?
I just don't think it's that weird.
Like if you're in a bathing suit, I don't think it's a big deal at all.
I think it's like being in a spa.
No, it's not if you're in togs.
It's not a big deal.
Yeah.
But you want to ask this question about whether you have baths with your friends.
Yeah, is it a thing?
Do you have baths with friends?
Like I haven't, I can't remember the last time I did, but I definitely have.
Naked baths.
Is that what we're asking about?
I don't think I've had a naked bath.
Maybe.
I'm not going to say yes or no because I can't remember.
Okay.
But I want to ask people, yeah, do you have naked baths with friends?
And is it all peachy?
Is it all, you know, cool and not a big deal?
Are we missing out on something by not having naked baths with our friends?
Yeah, should we be getting in on this?
Obviously not at level three, but as soon as we get down to level two.
After, something to look forward to.
Call my mates, everyone wants a bath.
Oh, Andrew Diles at M, let us know.
Will you stand on baths with your mates?
Free and Clint.
In a bath.
There were no bubbles, though.
It was as close to a bath as we could get.
But would you not get into a hot tub with your mate? Yeah, we would. It was very bathy, though. It was as close to a bath as we could get. But would you not get into a hot tub with your mate?
Yeah, we would.
It was very bathy, though.
Oh.
Wasn't it?
It's called hot tub time machine.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just saying.
Right.
We've done it.
We went on a tour in a bath together for four hours each day together.
Oh, yeah, true.
That's what I'm getting at.
Hot tub.
Sorry, hot tub.
Hot tub.
You don't want to get in trouble with your partner.
Yeah.
No, to be honest, I...
You went a four-hour bath with Clint? That's weird. No, I think tub. Hot tub. You don't want to get in trouble with your partner. Yeah. No, to be honest, I... You had a four-hour bath with Clint?
That's weird.
No, I think I've done it.
I used to have baths with my friends.
Yeah.
I don't think it's a big deal.
We're togs on people, though.
Are there any nerdy rooties out there having baths with their friends?
Let's find out.
Nicole's here.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi.
What are your thoughts?
Do you have baths with your friends?
Yes. Hi. What are your thoughts? Do you have baths with your friends? Yes, just with this one, my best friend, Brooke,
we usually after like a night out, we'll go back to our flat
and we'll just grab some food, hop in the bubble bath,
and, yeah, chill out.
How relaxing.
Fun.
See, that just sounds like a fun, girly night for me.
Is it a togs-on bath?
There's been togs on and
togs off baths, but
it's not like that.
No, no, no, I understand.
Yeah, just friends having a bath.
Do you always have bubbles, Nicole?
Or do you just...
Safety bubbles.
You can't even see anything through the bubbles anyway.
Modesty bubbles.
Melissa's here. Hi, Melissa. Modesty bubbles, yeah.
Melissa's here.
Hi, Melissa.
Hi, how are you guys?
Good, thanks, Mel.
What are your thoughts on having baths with friends?
I've actually had a shower all time.
Okay.
And we had a few wines and music playing in the background also.
Oh, that sounds like a party. That sounds like the aftermatch of a footy match.
How big was the shower?
Because in my opinion, it needs to be the right shower
if you're going to shower with anyone.
Or else someone's left out of the cold.
I think we've lost Melissa.
Oh, we've lost Melissa.
Yeah, right.
You're absolutely right, though.
Sharing a shower and standing out to the side while one person is warm,
especially if it's like a rain-head shower
and there's water coming straight down.
Literally only one person can get wet at a time unless you wrap
yourself around each other.
So my shower in the last place that I lived in,
which was the best bathroom I've ever had in my whole life,
had three shower heads.
Oh.
That shower.
Could they all work at once?
Yes.
Whoa.
So it was the perfect shower to shower someone else.
So did you have a three person shower?
It's none of your business. Right, okay.
I was never invited. Alex is here.
Hi Alex. Hi Alex. Hey, how's it going?
Good thanks. What about you Alex? Showering
or bathing with mates?
Yeah, I had a boys trip
to Hanmer one year and we all
just after a while had a few
lemonades, just decided we'd have a bubble bath together,
and there was about four of us in this one tub.
You know, I find that so cute.
I feel like those real cute guys having a cute bubble bath.
Yeah, we were just sitting by, sipping, having fun.
Just the fellas getting clean.
I have a girlfriend.
She knows that's happened, and she's all good with it.
I don't think she was threatened by the boys.
That's fine.
No, I don't think they's going to be much competition.
That's for sure.
What size bath was it?
Was it a regular one-person bath with all four of you in there?
It was probably like a large home bath,
like one of them with like springs and stuff in it.
So like quite a fancy bath.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
How many lads were in there at the one time?
I think we got four at once and we had some bubbles again as a buffer.
But, yeah, no togs, just, you know.
Just let it go.
Yeah, you've got to get clean, right?
They wouldn't have needed much water.
Four men in a regular bathtub, there wouldn't have been much room for water.
I didn't think it was in the bottom.
I'm definitely going to take this image that you have so gracefully given to me.
Alex, thank you.
You're very welcome.
It was a great time.
Thank you very much.
Free in Clint. gracefully given to me, Alex. Thank you. You're very welcome. It was a great time. Thank you very much. One loss for the year. It just so happens that loss was last week. She can do. Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
One loss for the year.
It just so happens that loss was last week.
So today we reset the clock and we begin playing for $50 cash in What's the Plot?
Back to the start, but that's all right.
What?
The title and the... Prestige.
The prestige is everything.
Yep.
Here to take you down today, or on at least, is Wade.
Hi, Wade.
G'day, Wade.
How's it going?
I bet you wish you got through last week for the $1,300.
Yeah, I know.
She's going to have two losses soon, so, you know.
Oh, Wade!
Okay, all right.
Kick me while I'm down, Wade.
Sorry, sorry.
No, no, no, I like it.
Bring on the bands.
The rules state that the first person to get two movies correct
will win the game.
I'll read out plots.
You buzz in with your name if you think you know what it is.
Don't wait for me to finish that plot.
If you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess.
That's all you need to know.
I'll give you, oh, those are the rules.
I'll give you the theme and then we'll start this week's theme
because we all need it because we're in the eighth week of lockdown,
some of us in the country,
and some of us just starting a new lockdown.
Feel good movies.
All right.
Movies.
That could be anything.
Movies that give you the feels.
Well, it couldn't be anything.
It wouldn't be...
Like Squid Game.
It wouldn't be Squid Game.
Makes me feel something.
Not good, though.
No, not good.
No, okay.
Feel good movies.
Here we go.
Movie number one. This film, not good. No, okay. Feel good movies. Here we go. Movie number one. This film
based on a book tells the story
of our hero, a gifted girl
forced to put up with a crude
and... Brie. Matilda.
Ooh.
Matilda is correct.
That's quite well done there.
Yeah, not bad, not bad. I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It's on Netflix at the there. Yeah, not bad, not bad.
I watched it a couple of weeks ago.
It's on Netflix at the moment.
Yeah, right.
You thought you were watching an Australian soccer game, didn't you?
That's why you put it on.
The Matildas.
Oh, Matildas, that's a bit of me.
Yeah, I'll watch that.
She's one up, Wade.
You need this one again.
Yeah, I know.
I might be taking back my comment, too.
You've talked a big game, man.
You've got to back it up.
You've got to at least go toe for toe.
Here we go.
I got it.
Movie number two.
Our hero was accidentally transported somewhere as a toddler
and raised to adulthood among people that are not like him.
Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in
and now an adult, he travels to New York City.
Breathe.
Elf.
Elf?
How do you spell elf?
E-L-F.
Oh, that elf.
Yeah, not elf.
A-L-F.
Elf.
You sure you want to lock in the E one?
Yeah, I want to lock it in.
Elf.
I mean, I've never asked you for spelling before,
but it's correct.
She's back on the board.
Oh, that's heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking. Sorry, Wade, I can't hear you. She's back on the board. Oh, that's heartbreaking. Heartbreaking.
Sorry, Wade, I can't hear you.
What was that?
Heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking.
This is awkward.
No, good game, Wade.
Bring on those bands, Wade.
Call back next week.
Bring on the bands.
We'll play again next week for $100 cash in What's the Plot?
That's the game.
That's how it goes.
We play every Thursday at this time.
Here's a story
about someone asking a friend to do something for
free and coming back to bite them
in the butt. Actually, it's not even free.
They offered them some money, but
I don't think they've gone about this the right way.
I think they have... I'll just read it
to you and you tell me how you feel about it.
So someone's written on Reddit, they said
a friend got married a few days ago and they wanted to save money. So they asked if I
would shoot their wedding for them. I told him weddings aren't really my forte, but he convinced
me by saying they don't really care if the photos are perfect or not. They're just on a really tight
budget for the wedding and they need to save some money. So they wanted the friend to shoot it.
They offered him $250 to shoot the whole day,
including following the bride before the wedding,
all the getting ready bits,
right through the day, the ceremony,
the party into the evening,
$250 to shoot the wedding.
He did all of that.
He started his day at 11 a.m.
And at around 5 p.m. when the food was coming out,
he hadn't been offered anything to eat
or drink by that stage
and he said well I'm going to stop
I'm going to have some food. His friend told
him not to stop because you need
to be a photographer
they at that point realised he hadn't
even saved them a spot at the table to
have dinner
and so
he said to the groom I need to take 20 minutes off to eat some food and drink
or I'm going to pass out. And he told me that I either need to be a photographer or leave without
pay. And at that point, the friend, this is a friend of his, not a professional wedding photographer,
snapped. He got the camera out in front of the friend, he accessed
the memory card, he deleted
all of the wedding photos and
he left. Karma's a B.
Karma is a B. Karma is a B
and it'll get ya.
I don't know when, I don't know
how, but it will and karma
got that guy. Yeah. Cause that's a
dick move. It's a dick move.
Just cause you've given your mate $250
doesn't mean you get to treat him like that.
No. That's not fair. Like not
letting him eat. Obviously
it shows
how close of friends they
were because they obviously weren't
you know as close because he
invited him to
photograph the wedding. Yeah. He obviously
didn't invite him to be at the wedding.
Yeah, right.
You know, so it obviously shows how, like,
what their friendship is like.
A professional photographer wouldn't have put up with that either.
That's the thing.
He only went to five o'clock with no food
because you were his friend.
A professional photographer would have gone,
I need to take a break every couple of hours.
It's my right as a worker.
And they would have been getting paid a lot more than $250 for the whole day. And they would have been getting a proper rate. Wedding photographers cost thousands of hours. It's my right as a worker. And they would have been getting paid a lot more than $250 for the whole day.
And they would have been getting a proper rate.
Wedding photographers cost thousands of dollars
because those photos are so important to you,
they have to get them right.
So they charge you a crazy amount of money for it.
I feel like this is such a touchy subject
because I just don't want to ask any of my friends to do anything like that. Like, you know,
if it's, if it was my wedding, I wouldn't be asking anyone to do anything. If I really want
them there, then I'll just invite them. You're not going to invite me to DJ your wedding. No way.
I just want you to be there and enjoy it. Oh, good. Okay. I don't want, I don't want my friends
to have to work at my wedding. Cause then I think it just, it's a bit ick to me. Yeah. I, yeah,
yeah. I get that. Yeah. That's how I see it. If it's a bit ick to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I get that.
Yeah.
That's how I say it.
If your friend offers or volunteers and they're like,
I want to help you with your wedding, I'd love to DJ it,
or I'm in a band, I'd like to play your wedding.
Who's going to do that?
Who's going to put their hand up and go,
I know you invited me to come and just have fun,
but how do you feel about me working on the night?
Well, sometimes it's more fun if your friends are involved.
I got Matty McLean, our friend, to marry us at our wedding.
No, that's different.
Is it?
Yeah, that's different.
Yeah?
Yeah, like I definitely get one of my friends to marry us.
Is that different because he gets that bit out at the start
and then he can party after that?
Yeah, probably.
Like going and DJing at your friend's wedding
and literally watching all your friends dance
and having a good time and you have to sit up in the booth.
They better pay for your Uber.
If you're going to DJ at the wedding,
you better be able to get slithered
and not have to drive home afterwards.
Is Matty McLean a marriage celebrant?
Yes.
Qualified marriage celebrant.
Interesting.
I don't know if he wants any work.
I don't know if he's still doing it.
Did you guys pay him?
We offered to pay him.
He wouldn't take any money for it to do our wedding Okay
Yeah, yeah
Interesting
I thought we could take some calls this afternoon
On this topic
Not specifically about weddings
But when a friend asked you to do something for free
Like a lot of this would happen to people who are builders
You would have friends go
Hey, we need a deck
You're a builder
Can you come round and-
Do you mind whipping up a deck?
We'll do a barbecue for you and shout you a box of beers and you build us a deck.
And you go, decks cost thousands of dollars.
These situations make me feel really uncomfortable because I just would never ask a friend to
do that.
What's the thing that you usually get paid for that your friend thought it was okay to
ask you to do for free?
That's the question we're asking this afternoon.
0800 dials at M or you can text your stories into 9696.
We can keep you anonymous on this if you're worried
that it will impact the friendship.
When did your friends take advantage of you?
It is a little bit like that.
Bree and Clint.
A story about a guy whose friend asked him to photograph his wedding.
He goes, hey, can you shoot my wedding?
I'll give you $250.
The friend treated him like crap and didn't even give him dinner at the wedding.
Not even a place at the table.
No, he didn't even save him a spot.
He was like, you're here to work.
He didn't even save him a plate.
And so the guy said, keep your $250 and deleted his wedding photos.
Oh, smooth.
That guy got what he deserved. Don't be an a-hole to someone. Don't be an a-hole to anyone, especially your friend. $250 and deleted his wedding photos. Oh, smooth.
That guy got what he deserved.
Yeah. Don't be an a-hole to someone.
Don't be an a-hole to anyone, especially your friends.
It's your friend and you treated him like dirt.
So we're asking this afternoon,
what did your friend ask you to do for free?
Maybe it's your trade.
Maybe it's just a special skill that you have
that you make money out of usually.
And your friend was like, oh, you can do that for me for free.
Yeah, come on.
Mate's rates.
Yeah.
I'll get you back on something else.
So this person wants to remain anonymous.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Anonymous, I feel like there's going to be a bit of a venting session for you.
Well, my partner and I both work in jobs that are typically taken advantage of.
He is a builder.
Okay. And I work in law. So I will get a phone call just going, oh, hey, quick question. And it will
be some horrifically complicated scenario. And I can literally hear the numbers ticking
away in my head being like, this is how much it costs.
Not cool, man.
And my partner will get a, hey, bro, I've just got a quick building job.
Could you come and help?
And then three days later we'll finish building a deck and doing something,
if that makes sense.
Yeah, builders cop it all the time, eh?
Imagine, Anonymous, if you had have made money, you and your partner,
from every friend job, you guys would be rolling in it.
Kindness does not pay the bills, I'll tell you that.
Yeah, fair enough.
That's a fair statement.
There's a difference of, you know, helping out
and then taking advantage of someone.
Yeah, totally.
And it also depends on how good of a friend you are to someone
and how much time you spend together.
If you just call someone, like you're friends with them, but you call them out of the
blue. You just met them and you're like, oh, you're a builder.
We're actually doing an extension on our house.
Come over and have a look. We'll make you a sandwich.
Hayden's here. G'day, Hayden. Hi, Hayden.
Hey, mate. How are you? Good. What do you do
that your friend asked you to do for free?
Photography and videography.
Oh, yeah. Right. So this wedding one
is very real for you then. Anything
creative, Hayden, is usually one that people jump on.
Yeah.
Yeah, weddings definitely, but the one that gets me all the time specifically is, you
know, I'll get invited to go to an event and I'll have some promoter that'll be like,
mate, it's going to be fantastic.
There's going to be hundreds of people.
It's going to be amazing, blah, blah, blah.
And I'll be like, oh, that sounds really cool.
I'll go to that. And then like the night before, they'll be like, oh, that sounds really cool. I'll go to that.
And then like the night before, they'll be like, hey,
you know how you come to this event?
Do you mind if you bring all your gear with you as well?
You know, you don't mind like staying for like six hours
and 400 photos and three hours of video?
No such thing as a free lunch.
And do they offer to pay when they do that, Hayden, or no?
They pay me with exposure dollars.
Oh, yeah, right.
And a free ticket to the gig that you weren't keen to go to in the first place.
God, I hate exposure dollars.
Or it's good experience.
Honestly, that's why I put up a lot of opportunities for you.
I worked every weekend for a year back in the day for experience.
Yeah.
And then they got in trouble with the tax department.
They had to back pay me.
Did they? Hey! That's so good. That's a true department. They had to back pay me. Did they?
Hey!
That's so good.
That's a true story.
You can sit your rate then.
Finally, this person wants to be anonymous as well.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, guys.
How you doing?
Good, thanks.
Vent to us, Anonymous.
What are your friends always taking advantage of you for?
Not always friends.
I do have one particular situation that came up a few years ago.
I'm a qualified chef by trade, but I also do quite a bit of hospitality work,
so front of house and kitchen.
Yeah, yeah.
And my sister, my sister, my one and only sister,
decided that it'd be a great idea to ask me to do the catering for her wedding.
No!
No!
No!
And you've been looking forward to attending your sister's wedding your whole life.
Yeah, look, I didn't ask if the cake was included,
but I also didn't get asked to be a bridesmaid,
so a bit of a double whammy there.
I was just about to say, can you imagine, I just picture you,
your sister is like, hey, I need to talk to you, I want to ask you something.
Yeah, oh, my God.
And there's this amazing situation.
You're like, oh, my God, she's going to ask me to be her maid of honour. This is the moment. She's like, I just want to know if you can
be the caterer at our wedding. Pull a 12 hour shift on my wedding day.
Yeah, well, this wasn't keen, eh? Unfortunately, it was a bit of a sad event. I mean, I didn't
really enjoy the wedding. So me and my husband and my brother signed a bail and hit the pubs instead.
Oh my God. Wow, what a disaster.
So you obviously didn't do the catering.
Was that an awkward moment when you said,
I'm not keen but I still should be allowed to come to the wedding?
No, no, it wasn't awkward, no.
It was very many, many years ago but I didn't follow through.
What is your sister thinking?
What was she thinking?
It's her own sister, for God's sake.
It's not even a friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like a cousin or whatever. It's her own sister, for God's sake. It's not even a friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like, you know, a cousin or whatever.
It's her sister.
Yeah, please, can you be the crocodile winner?
Okay, there's a bit of a warning for everybody out there, I guess.
Just think about, you know, that situation and how you would feel
if you got asked to do like free work or whatever.
Yeah.
You know?
Put yourself in their shoes.
Yeah, so just if you do, make sure you get them something really nice
or you make them feel really appreciated or whatever.
Or pay them.
Or pay them what they're worth.
That's also a good thing.
What you would pay someone else if they say no.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, here we go, birthday banger time.
Three people's birthdays.
What was number one on their 16th?
Let's start with Jess.
Kia ora, Jess.
Hi, Jess.
Hey, guys, how are you going?
Good, mate, how are you?
I'm good, thank you.
That's good to hear.
Jess, what's your birthday?
11th of July, 1998.
All right, you were 16 in 2014. And on the 11th
of July in 2014, this was number one.
Stay with me
Cause of all our
Emotional banger, Jess. Sam Smith.
Good song, but a little bit depressing.
Yeah, a bit depressing, yeah.
I mean, just a tad.
I love that song, though.
It is a beautiful song.
But I don't know if it fits the bill.
Okay, wait there, Jess.
It could do.
We could get three really depressing songs today,
and that could be the best one.
But let's go to Jack.
Hi, Jack.
G'day, Jack.
Hi, how are you?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Good, good.
That's good.
What's your birthday, Jack? 5th? Good, mate. How are you? Good, good. That's good. What's your birthday, Jack?
1st of May, 1987.
All right, Jack, you were 16 in 2003.
And on the 5th of May in 2003, this was number one.
Not depressing at all, Jack. Come on, get busy. Just sit down, board and unstop. Thunderball. Just keep singing it.
Not depressing at all, Jack.
I feel like you've got some fire birthday banger right there.
Yeah, I reckon I've got a banger.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah, man.
Yes, Jack, yes.
Good man.
Let's do one more for Patricia.
Hi, Patricia.
Hi, Patricia.
Kia ora, Clinton Brie.
How are you?
Kia ora.
Going good.
That's a very nice welcome from you. Thank you. You're welcome. How are you? Kia ora. Going good. Oh, that's a very nice welcome from you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Where are you calling us from?
In the Tron.
You guys are in lockdown.
Oh, well, it's not too bad, you know.
I mean, could be worse.
It is what it is.
They could take away takeaways again.
I wouldn't care.
I'm watching the weight.
Oh, nice, Patricia.
Nice.
Yeah, you say that, but you never want it more than when you can't have it.
That's how they get you, Patricia.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Okay, let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
3rd of January, 1991.
We've got the same birthday, Patricia.
Oh, yay!
Oh, that's cool.
That's fun.
You're a Capricorn like me.
You were 16 in 2007. Oh, yay! Oh, that's cool. That's fun. You're a Capricorn like me.
You were 16 in 2007.
And on the 3rd of January in 2007, this was number one.
It's really good to hear your voice.
Say my name.
It sounds so sweet.
That's a Hamilton banger for you. You're a really good one.
True shout.
It's good.
That was a Hamilton banger for you. I knew it would be a good one. Trisha, it's good. That was a moment in time, wasn't it?
Wasn't it, eh?
All this dirty rock music on all the pop stations, but it was good.
Loved it.
I'm going to vote for it.
Patricia, you've got a good attitude and a good song.
I'm going to vote for Lips of an Angel, not Hips of an Angel.
Well done, Twin.
You've got some good vibes.
And I mean, I got to go with my birthday twin.
I'm going with yours, Patricia.
Oh, love you, Brie.
No worries, mate.
Got you back.
Congratulations.
There you go.
This is for you.
Bye.
Going out to everyone in Hamilton in lockdown.
Here's Hinder on ZM.
Brie and Clint.
I want to talk about one person for a second who I think has done more for the vaccination campaign than any other person in this country.
She just happens to do the TV show at 7 o'clock.
It's Hilary Barry.
She's an absolute icon, this woman.
Obviously, there's lots of people doing lots of things.
Vaccinators, contact tracers, the government, doctors, everybody.
Hilary Barry doesn't have to do anything.
And here she is promising every single person who got their first vaccination last weekend a free chocolate fish and following through with it.
I wonder if I've already had mine.
Can I still claim a chocolate fish?
I reckon if you tried, she'd give you a chocolate fish just because you did the right thing.
She doesn't have to do this.
There's a picture of her on her Instagram account
in front of the piles of chocolate fish that she's had to get.
Oh, my God, look at them all.
I hope the weird Choccy Fish Company hooked her up
and said, we'll shout these.
And I also hope she's using the TVNZ mailroom
to send all of these out.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
Because that's the real cost.
Save on shipping.
How much are you going to cost to ship one chocolate fish?
Not cheap.
Not cheap?
Like if you're sending hundreds of those.
And I'm sure she's well off, but that's enough to bankrupt anybody.
Yeah.
If you had to send out 1,000, let alone 10,000 chocolate fish,
it would ruin you.
It'd be crazy.
What could you offer people who wanted to get vaccinated this weekend?
If they could prove that they got their first vaccination, what could you offer them? What could you offer people Who wanted to get vaccinated this weekend If they could prove that they got their first vaccination
What could you offer them
I've been thinking about this
What could we do, what could you do
What are we good at
Is there any service
You do that weird thing where you can squirt saliva
From underneath your tongue
But that's not good in a pandemic
Is it
You do a George Ezra impersonation.
What if you do, what if you sent them a personalized message, you as George Ezra?
My house in Budapest, my hidden treasure chest.
I mean, I've still got it.
What else?
I really don't know that there's much.
No, I can't say that on the radio.
Were you going to say sexy video?
No.
Because you could do sexy video.
I'll send out feet pics.
Feet pics?
If that's going to get people vaccinated.
All right, I'll join you on that.
If you get your first vaccination this weekend.
And you're into feet pics.
And you're into feet pics and you can prove you got vaccinated this weekend.
That's what we're going to do.
You can choose the foot of your choice.
Bree's only one foot.
Bree's left. Bree's right.'re going to do. You can choose the foot of your choice. Bree's only one foot. Bree's left, Bree's
right, my left or my right. You only get
the second foot once you get your second
vaccination.
I've got some space news
coming straight from the space
guys, NASA.
They are going to launch a
spacecraft next month
with the sole purpose of going into space to hit an asteroid on purpose.
This is stuff that nightmares are made of.
Well, this is stuff that Bruce Willis movies from the 90s are made of.
This is basically the plot line of the movie Armageddon,
where if you haven't seen it, there's a meteor coming towards Earth.
Bruce Willis goes out.
I won't tell you what happens.
They try and shoot a missile at it,
and it doesn't work.
And then they try and fly up to it,
land on the meteor.
And drill a nuke into it.
Yeah.
So we're getting there.
That's what's happening.
NASA has found a pair of asteroids
that orbit the sun
and occasionally come close to Earth.
That's so good.
Don't you hate when you misplace one of your asteroids?
Yeah, yeah, they know where they are.
Yeah, so good that they're in a pair.
These asteroids are at no risk of actually hitting Earth.
That's what they say.
Yeah, that's what they say.
They say they're going to test on these ones.
And all they plan to do is shoot a missile at the asteroid
and knock it off course.
They don't want to blow the whole thing up.
This is literally the plot line of Armageddon.
Yeah.
Literally the plot line.
I always thought if there was an asteroid coming for us,
they'd go blow it all up into some other end.
No, because then we still cop all of the little asteroids.
All the fallout.
Well, that was a burn up in the atmosphere.
Isn't that what happened in Armageddon?
Didn't they shoot the missile?
It hit.
And it didn't work.
But it only broke off a part of it.
Yeah, I think so.
And then Bruce had to drill a nuke into the surface
and fully detonate it.
They only want to change the course of this asteroid
by a fraction of 1%.
That's all they want to do.
That's pretty easy then.
Yeah, right.
The rocket that they'll shoot at it will hit the asteroid
at 22,000 kilometres an hour.
And you'd hope that would work, right?
I have no idea how, like in physics class at school,
I would literally just sit there and pretend like i
understood anything and i just was like i don't get anything you are saying yeah and then there's
people who are literally figuring out how to shoot a missile at an asteroid to knock it off course so
it doesn't hit earth yeah like does that i mean does that what what math equation do you have to
use for that
Yeah how do you figure
That stuff out
I bet it's not pi
I reckon it might have
Something to do with pi
Do you reckon pi's involved somewhere
I hope that either pi
Trig
Or Pythagoras theorem
Are involved in this
Pythagoras for sure
I hope someone is using it
Otherwise why the hell
Will we taught it
Exactly
If Pythagoras theorem
Doesn't save us from Imminent destruction Then why are we we taught it? Exactly. If Pythagoras Theorem doesn't save us from imminent
destruction, then why are we being
taught it? I'm just waiting for the call up to use
my Pythagoras Theorem to save the world.
